Im in MO and my Car and wife are in Dallas(Coppell), TX. I have done about all i can think of over the phone with my best friend to cure this hard/no start issue we are having but its still happening. I am pretty sure i could figure it out if i was down there...but i cant due to time and work. SO i have to swallow my pride and see if there is someone that can offer me any assistance that knows these cars. Open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Dan

Try a guy here named mtbr297. He is a mechanic and has done some work for people in the DFW area. People have liked his work.

Yes, UserID "MTBR297" here is a Master Mechanic...

Perhaps "Alphaseinor" would also have time to help out...

I have time tonight, from the description, it sounds like a fueling issue... I can scan it with the VAG-COM and see if there is anything else while I'm in there...

From your previous posts, it looks like you might have a bad seal somewhere... I have quite a few gaskets, o rings, and misc things to help fix the problem...

Man....11 years ago! Now I consider myself an expert on these cars! haha....not much I haven't touched!

Thanks Brian for your write up on the 5 speed swap. Did one on the new car earlier this year. Got it done with zero issues.

I like how simple these things are to work on once you figure out how them Germans think! haha....
